In this episode of “We Fixed It. You’re Welcome,” our panelists tackle the challenges facing Bowflex, a once-prominent home fitness brand now grappling with bankruptcy and a massive recall. Joined by guest Lukas Sundahl, a former personal trainer turned financial expert, the team explores the complexities of corporate accountability, consumer rights, and brand rehabilitation.
